THE RAMAYANA
धन्योऽस्म्यनुगृहीतोऽसि यस्य मे मुनिपुङ्गव ।
यशोपसदनं ब्रह्मन् प्राप्तोऽसि मुनिभिस्सह ॥
इमौ कुमारौ भद्रं ते देवतुल्यपराक्रमौ ।
काकपक्षधरौ वीरौ श्रोतुमिच्छामि तत्त्वतः ॥
"O best of ascetics ! I am indeed
fortunate. I have been blest, O Brahman !
in that thou hast come to my sacrifice along
with the ascetics. Good betide thee.
I desire to hear truly about these two lads,
wearing sidelocks, heroic and equal to
gods in prowess."
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा जनकस्य महात्मनः ।
न्यवेदयन्महात्मानौ पुत्रौ दशरथस्य तौ ॥
सिद्धाश्रमनिवासं च राक्षसानां वधं तथा ।
महाधनुषि जिशासां कर्तुमागमनं तथा ॥
Hearing these words of the high-souled
Janaka, Visvamitra introduced them as the
two high-souled sons of Dasaratha and told
him of their sojourn at Siddhasrama, the
slaying of the Rakshasas and of their visit
there to become acquainted with the great
bow.
एवमुक्तस्तु जनकः प्रत्युवाच महामुनिम्
